Nothing but "No," and "Aye," and "Aye," and "No"? <br />How falls it out so strangely you reply? <br />I tell ye, Fair, I'll not be answer'd so, <br />With this affirming "No," denying "Aye." <br />I say, "I love," you slightly answer "Aye"; <br />I say, "You love," you pule me out a "No"; <br />I say, "I die," you echo me an "Aye"; <br />"Save me," I cry, you sigh me out a "No"; <br />Must woe and I have nought but "No" and "Aye"? <br />No I am I, if I no more can have; <br />Answer no more, with silence make reply, <br />And let me take myself what I do crave. <br />Let "No" and "Aye" with I and you be so; <br />Then answer "No," and "Aye," and "Aye" and "No."<br /><br />Michael Drayton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-v-nothing-but-no/
